Silly question... washing powder!

[Tulips]

Hi ladies,

Really silly question from a newbie first mom to be, and it's about washing powder. I know that you're supposed to use non-bio or sensitive etc, but from your experience does it need to be the top shelf brands or are say Waitrose / Tesco etc own brands just as good?

Obviously we want what is best for little Pickles so thought we might ask for your experience & advice?

Thanks in advance!

i use fairy and comfort pure but only because i love the smell. if it was trying to save money i use any of the shop brand non bio liquid

I use Fairy Non-Bio and Comfort concentrated (the yellow one...can't be bothered to go check what its called )

These have been fine for Libby's skin, also babues will get rashes in the early days due to them coming into contact with all sorts of 'pollutants' as they have never had external factors other than amniotic fluid come in contact with their skin, so don't panic if baby does get a little rash initially (Libby did on her torso)

My boys both have bad eczema so i use surcare which doesn't aggrivate their skin.
